Chapter 54: Chapter 54 Foundation Establishment Pill
Zhao Yu said, "Su, I hope you can help me conceal the existence of the White Ghost Emperor! Let's pretend this evil ghost was killed by you!"
The White Ghost Emperor, a Second-Order Spirit Ghost, was very powerful. Zhao Yu planned to hide it and use it as his trump card.
"Of course! Here, take this! This is a Foundation Establishment Pill!"
Su Bingyun reached into her storage bag and handed a bottle to Zhao Yu.
"Foundation Establishment Pill!"
Zhao Yu's eyes brightened as he took the jade bottle, feeling a trace of emotion in his heart.
The Foundation Establishment Pill within that small bottle was what countless Qi Refining Stage Cultivators dreamt of acquiring. A single Foundation Establishment Pill could fetch at least ten thousand spirit stones at an auction, and in some black markets, it could even sell for the astronomical price of twenty thousand spirit stones.
That was because Second-Order Alchemists capable of crafting Foundation Establishment Pills were scarce in the North Desolate, and aside from the four Great Sects who could craft them, there were hardly any other powers that could.
In the North Desolate, Foundation Establishment Pills were in high demand and short supply. Even elite disciples of the Great Sects found it extremely difficult to obtain one, let alone outsiders.
Even a Foundation Establishment family like the Changyang Ling family didn't have a single Foundation Establishment Pill in their treasury, which spoke volumes about the pill's preciousness.
Su Bingyun hesitated for a moment, her pretty face blushing slightly as she slowly said, "Zhao Yu, from now on... you can call me Bingyun!"
Zhao Yu smiled and replied, "How about I call you Senior Su in public, and Bingyun in private? After all, I'm just a mere Qi Refinement Stage Cultivator!"
A Qi Refinement Stage Cultivator who could command a Second-Order Evil Ghost already had a status comparable to a Foundation Establishment Cultivator!
Su Bingyun glanced at the White Ghost Emperor quietly standing behind Zhao Yu and said, "It's up to you!"
After hesitating for a while, Su Bingyun slowly asked, "Is Ling Qianxue your Dao Companion?"
As a Foundation Establishment Cultivator with a righteous nature and an excellent reputation, Su Bingyun acting as the host of the exchange meet would make those cultivators much more willing to take out their precious spiritual objects for trade.
Zhao Yu arrived in front of the stele holding the Fierce Ghost Relic, sealed the stele, and stored it inside his storage bag. Then, he and Su Bingyun searched together in the royal mansion for storage bags belonging to cultivators killed by the evil ghosts.
The cultivators killed by the evil ghosts were all enveloped in ghostly energy. The White Ghost Emperor was particularly sensitive to ghostly energy. Under its guidance, Zhao Yu found many bodies of cultivators killed by evil ghosts and took away their storage bags.
Zhao Yu came to the royal family's treasure house and discovered that the treasures inside had been completely looted. He then went to the royal family's Spiritual Medicine Garden and found that not a single Spirit Grass remained— the entire place was pitted and uneven.
Su Bingyun asked, "Do you want to become the master of Wolf Ridge?"
Zhao Yu replied, "The master of Wolf Ridge? Bingyun, even with your help, becoming the master of Wolf Ridge won't be so simple, right? Even a Foundation Establishment Cultivator would covet this second-order superior spiritual land."
Second-order superior spiritual lands weren't abundant in Cang Country, most being under the control of the Cang Ling Sect. Of the five great Foundation Establishment families in Cang Country, only the former Wang family had been awarded one by the Cang Ling Sect in recognition of their great contributions.
A piece of second-order superior spiritual land signified the ability to create a powerful Foundation Establishment Level force, as long as one managed it properly, a large number of cultivation resources could be acquired.
Countless cultivator families dreamt of obtaining a piece of Spiritual Land, as it would allow them to pass down their lineage for generations and become a true cultivation family. Even a piece of inconsequential spiritual land that didn't even reach first-order could cause numerous Loose Cultivators to fight over it, not to mention a piece of second-order superior spiritual land.
Su Bingyun said, "I've earned quite a few merits on the battlefield, using all of my merits should help you secure the position of master of Wolf Ridge."
Zhao Yu replied, "No! I hope those merits are used on yourself. If you can become a Golden Core Ancestor in the future, a piece of spiritual land would be nothing more than a word away for you."
With anticipation, Su Bingyun said, "I think Wolf Ridge is not bad. Since you don't want it, I'll take it. How about you manage it on my behalf? Also, no one from the Ling family is allowed to interfere."
Zhao Yu agreed, "All right! But I'm just managing it, you need to send some people over."
Su Bingyun turned her head, the corners of her mouth lifting slightly, "Mhm!"
